The Firefly Trail Run

Immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of nature at The Firefly Trail Run, an extraordinary timed trail race that offers runners both breathtaking scenery and challenging terrain. Set on private property reserved exclusively for this event weekend, the course features a singletrack loop spanning approximately three miles, which you can run continuously for either six or twelve hours.
Each lap takes you past mesmerizing waterfalls, serene mountain creeks, and through an enchanting vintage barn that adds character to your journey. With 400+ feet of elevation gain per loop, the course is both demanding and rewarding, offering stunning vistas at every turn. Frequent aid stations are strategically placed along the route, ensuring you have easy access to supplies while allowing opportunities for interaction with fellow runners.
For those seeking a shorter experience, there's also a 5K option that covers just one lap of this unforgettable trail. The loop design ensures minimal gear requirements and ample chances to witness the camaraderie among participants at various points throughout the race day.
The event venue is renowned not only for its natural beauty but also for fostering a warm community spirit. Past runners have praised both the organization and hospitality, noting how volunteers and fellow racers create an encouraging atmosphere that propels everyone forward.
Awards are given to top performers in each age group as well as overall winners across different race categories. Prizes include custom wooden finisher medals, soft long sleeve shirts (register early for your preferred size), professional timing services, post-race food and drinks, and more.
Participants can choose between camping on-site or arriving just for the day with packet pickup available both morning and afternoon before their scheduled start times. The event weekend kicks off Friday evening with check-in to campsites followed by packet pick-up opportunities until Saturday when race activities begin in earnest from early morning onwards.
